Of course, I'd probably use it for just reading other books as well, but the script submissions is the primary reason I bit the bullet and bought the Literati.
The item had obviously been out of the box, but upon inspection it looked like it had not been used much. The case wasn't even unwrapped from the plastic.
My biggest issue with the Literati, was that when I plug it into my laptop with the USB, Windows gives me an error saying that there is no driver for the device. I called TechSupport, they said to take it back to the store and ask for a new device (it was the only one!).
IS THERE AN ALTERNATE WAY TO INSTALL A DRIVER ON MY LAPTOP?
Thanks for your help.
Otherwise, I'm gonna return it for my money back.

It isn't your computer, it's the device. First, find a wifi hotspot and install the latest firmware on the device (2.0). This takes a while and might take two downloads/installs and a hard reset. Then turn on the device, then plug it in USB. It should be recognized as a drive letter.
And unless you intend to buy stuff from Kobo, don't bother with Kobo desktop, Calibre works great. It installs stuff in the right files on the device. Set all margins to 0 when you convert or dl Calibre feeds.
Congrats on getting it cheap. Lots of people got these for Xmas as gifts and don't know what to do with them. If you spend an hour configuring it per the above, it works well. Runs the same software as a Kobo reader.
